Network discovery is a process of locating all devices connected to a network. It involves scanning the network for available devices, identifying what type of device it is, determining its IP address and other characteristics such as its operating system and applications running on it. Network discovery is used in security scans to detect potential threats and vulnerabilities, as well as in day–to–day network management tasks such as determining which computers are online at any given time.
